Considered one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal, charming Funchal is the capital of Madeira Island. It is an important base for tourists from all over the world that come to the Madeira hotels, B&B’s and resorts to enjoy their cliffs and beaches, as well as its slopes and colourful towns.
Founded in 1424, its position allowed it to quickly become an important trading harbour, attracting many prominent families. Its mild weather was the beginning of its touristic development in the 18th century, with a therapeutic and health profile.
With the establishment of the port first, and Madeira International/Funchal Airport later, the city grew to become a major destination. Nowadays, the city concentrates most of the hotels, luxury resorts and casinos of Madeira. Accommodation located in Santa Cruz, near Funchal Airport, is also available for those wanting to avoid the rush.
Don’t miss a long walk around Sé historical district, and enjoy the Santa Clara Convent and the Sé Cathedral. The Quinta do Palheiro Ferreiro Park and the Mercado dos Lavradores are also a must.
Whether you need an ocean-view villa or a small guest house, Booking.com offers a wide range of Funchal accommodation.
Jardin Botanica is great, but see it BEFORE you see Monte,...
Jardin Botanica is great, but see it BEFORE you see Monte, which somewhat outshines it. Go when there's a festival; like the Atlantic Festival when we were there, It makes it more interesting. Don't expect beaches unless you go to Porto Santo for the day or two. Do go for a 4x4 into the interior too. And go to the Farmers Market the fruit is great, though not necessarilly cheap. The flowers all over Island are magnificent. And DO a Taboggan ride. Unique and worth the price, it's run by a cooperative.

We loved the old part of the Town and enjoyed shopping at the Farmers' Market. The Town was clean and tidy and the people couldn't have been more helpful. Everyone seemed to have a good knowledge of English.
We enjoyed the cable car and generally walking around the Town. Driving was a challenge.

Funchal is beautiful.
Funchal is beautiful. It is extremely clean and full of fruit trees and flowers . The people are incredibly welcoming and kind. The food was amazing. The prices were very reasonable. In some restaurants you could buy an appetizer, entree, drink and dessert for $20 euros. The landscapes were breathtaking .

We’ve visited not only Funchal but all over Madeira.
We’ve visited not only Funchal but all over Madeira. My favorites were the levadas, but I’ve loved to run in the morning uphill in Funchal :).
The city is beautiful but has its poor parts integrated everywhere, I liked that it’s not somewhere separated but it’s a mix of everything. The flora is astonishing and we’ve lived also the food there. Driving around can be a bit unusual at the beginning because of the steep hills and two way streets which barely can fit one car, but you get used to it :).

3-4 days is plenty.
3-4 days is plenty. There are surprisingly beautiful gardens & green spaces giving a break from all the noise & congestion. Beautiful flowers & trees blooming everywhere during the May Flower Festival. When multiple cruise ships are in port at once, it is packed. Driving & parking is a nightmare. Summer season must be a crowded mess. Some beautiful vistas, but few places to pull over & enjoy them. Very high fog shrouded mountains.
The tourist board proclaims that Madeira in general is the Hawaii of the Atlantic. Lots of Banana trees, some palms, some similar flowers, yes. The hiking is in the cold wet fog & the beaches can't compare.
This is a well run hotel and you can tell this by and mostly the staff training and the genuine service! Very willing and helpfull on any request... even a couple of days after check out! Super quality facilities, ideally located in the middle of everything in Funchal, spacious rooms, suberb value for money. The free on-spot parking and the hip and trendy roof top pool bar were the icing on the cake! Higly reccomended. I cannot imagine staying anywhere else next time in Madeira.
The apartment had everything that I needed for my stay, clean and well appointed. The restaurant downstairs, owned by the same people served excellent food and offered a discount for those renting the apartment. The host Maikel was excellent, attentive and generous, allowing me to stay for a final night free of charge when it became apparent that I had made a mistake with my departure date.
If I return to Madeira, I will definitely consider these apartments again. 10 out of 10
I stayed with Luiz for thr first few days on Madeira and it was phenomenal. I loved the beautiful views from thr garden overlooking Funchal and the sea. What made this stay so amazing were all the details Luiz gave us with recommandations, maps, bus routes and so on. The bungalow was very comfortable with everything we needed. There is a bus stop close by and a supermarket as well.
Luiz was such a helpful host, always available to assist. Thank you! From Eoghan and Gené
The hotel is just a short walk away from the old town and most of Funchal's main attractions, and it's suitably located even for those who don't like elevation. The rooms and public areas are clean and very well maintained, the furnishing is nice and modern. The rooftop pool area has a fantastic view over the city and the sea. For breakfast, there is a wide variety of treats available in a smorgasbord system. The staff was very helpful throughout our stay.
- good location, close to the ocean, old town, the port, the bus terminal and shops;
- Topázio apartment is very modern and stylish in the recently renovated building;
- all systems in the apartment were functioning properly except the alarm system;
- silent elevator;
- personnel from Hotel Madeira that manages apartments is very responsive;
- early check-in was very helpful;
- supplementary bottle of wine an a cake on arrival were very nice.
Modern hotel in the heart of Funchal , walking distance to the main centre of old town, harbour and gardens , in particular to our rum festival
Great view from roof top bar of the harbour and Funchal hills and centre- even though the pool was on a small side . We did not mind …
Very helpful staff at reception
Excellent choices of breakfast and omelette station with a friendly chef
The bed was the most comfortable one I have stayed in a hotel too
App is very comfortable. It has all necessary appliances, infrastructure, tools, etc to fell like at home or in 5* hotel. It’s best app in Madeira, no doubt about it! It is large, air-conditioned, 2 great bedrooms, very comfortable living room & kitchen, great terrace with marvelous view and swimming pool (not deep, very good for children) at the roof with spectacular view on Funchal. Close to restaurans, supermarket, not far from the beach.
The Downtown collection apartments was a perfect fit for our stay in Madeira. The central location made getting to our activities in Funchal and throughout the island smooth and easy. The apartment is close to a grocery store, restaurants, car rental and a pickup spot for the airport shuttle bus. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The host is accessible, helpful and can provide many local recommendations.
What a wonderful little gem in central Funchal. Only stayed one night due to flight disruption but would happily go back. Staff are beyond helpful and so friendly (unlike one other hotel we stayed in). Room was gorgeous, air conditioning a bonus. Loved the free Madeira and chocolates, a generous touch.
Despite it being on a side street I had the best sleep of our entire time on Madeira.
The breakfast basket was delicious and unexpected.
The hotel and its facilities are great and very clean. We enjoyed our time in the outdoor and indoor pools and squash court. The room was clean and spacious and the location was great with many very good restaurants in short walking distance. The downtown area was a 15-20 min walk or a quick bus ride which stops right outside the hotel. We loved our time in Madeira and would consider coming back to stay at this hotel again.
Everything was superb.
We stayed 9 nights and Dalia and Maria made our stay perfect.
The apartment is modern and functional, with balcony viewing the sea, the area is full of amenities and buzzing in the evening.
Just a pleasant 30 min walk from the centre of Funchal made for us the most strategic place to stay in Madeira.
Would definitely consider to stay there again next time
First of all every staff in this hotel was lovely. All smiling and checking on you. We stayed at the 1 bedroom apartment and the balcony view was amazing. The Forum Madeira shopping centre is close. This hotel is located in the edge of Funchal so it is a bit isolated and quiet, beside a beach which is exactly what we wanted. I would stay here again.
The host and hostess could not have been more accommodating. They provided maps marked up with places of interest, restaurants, food and beverage suggestions.
They provided champagne for New Years, wine, Madeira wine, liquor, water, fruit, bread, home made jam, etc.
Beautiful views of the ocean and city from the living room and balcony
Really lovely and well designed apartment in an excellent location. Feels like you are in the heart of the Old Town but yet it's nice and quiet. We had been staying outside of Funchal and only stayed here on our final night in Madeira, we regret not spending more time here as the apartment was so nice and the location was perfect.
The best location from which to explore Funchal! My room had a balcony looking out over the small plaza, which was great. Check-in was easy, the place itself has more than everything you need-- a complete kitchen, good bed, even a bottle of Madeira wine. I would return here if I visited Funchal again.
Everything was amazing, be it service, staff, facilities, room service .... and for the price it was definitely more than worth - Definitely revisiting
Plus the location is all you could ask for, super close to Funchal, Lido and Forum Madeira (everything is basically at walking distance)
It was lovely to be in a Madeira residential area rather than in the main hotel tourist area. The pool area was lovely. The standard of cleanliness was excellent, in the apartment and by the pool. Comfy big bed. Lovely views over Funchal.
This hotel was simply perfect. Great location, spacious and comfortable rooms, beautiful views from the rooftop, and excellent restaurant. This hotel was an experience in itself and was the cherry on top of our time in Madeira.
Stunning little hotel in the heart of Funchal with comfortable and exceptionally clean rooms. Hotel provided a nutritious breakfast that couldn't be missed. Will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Madeira.
Location is just perfect, in the middle of old town, very close to airport bus stop, few minutes walk from the Santa Maria street. Coffee was surprisingly better than in other bigger hotels in Madeira :)
